U.S., Russia and Ukraine begin talks in Abu Dhabi aimed at ending war in Ukraine
The talks will focus on security guarantees, ceasefire monitoring and territorial issues as both sides show cautious flexibility, a U.S. official said.
- Delegations from Russia, Ukraine, and the United States convened in Abu Dhabi for their first formal trilateral peace negotiations in nine months, focusing primarily on postwar European security architecture and de-escalation mechanisms.
- U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio indicated that diplomatic positioning between Washington and Moscow has shown incremental progress, noting that preliminary discussions have helped narrow gaps regarding long-term continental stability.

- Negotiators are expected to utilize the two-day summit to address targeted humanitarian issues, potential prisoner exchanges, and procedural frameworks for future diplomatic engagement.
